Silvio Berlusconi, the president of AC Milan, swiftly responded to rumors circulating in the Italian press regarding Clarence Seedorf’s possible departure at the end of the season. Berlusconi emphatically denied these speculations, asserting that Seedorf’s position as coach is not under scrutiny. He affirmed that Seedorf will remain in charge, even for the next season, indicating full confidence in the Dutch coach.
However, in a somewhat paradoxical statement, Berlusconi also criticized the team’s performance, describing Milan as a “poorly constructed team.” This remark suggests that while Seedorf’s position is secure for now, there may be expectations for improvements in the team’s performance moving forward.
Berlusconi’s comments underscore the complexities within the club and the pressure on Seedorf to address the team’s shortcomings despite the president’s public support.
